I've been asked by a local nursery to grow a number of veggie starts for
them this Spring. Among the plants they want are cantalope, watermelon,
pumpkins, cucumbers and dill. I have some reservations about these
because I
think they don't like to be transplanted. Am I correct, or do you experts
think otherwise?

shrugs I've personally never had any problems transplanting them!
The nice thing about 4" pots is that the whole "plug" goes into the
ground with minimal root disturbance.

Just be sure to protect them from bugs. g

Happy gardening! Doing stuff like this can be incredibly profitable,
especially if you can get bulk or used flats and pots for next to
nothing.

Good luck!

Thanks for your input, Om - I really appreciate it. I will indeed be getting
flats and pots for nothing, but the seed starting mix and potting soil ain't
cheap these days! I think it will be a great late-winter project to keep me
gardening when I can't be out scratching in my garden dirt.
